1.  Dear texas chainsaw acoustic hour guy:

     I really like your program.  I especially like it when you have a =
substitute host.

      LK

2.  Hey Tex:

     You really haven't ever been to Texas, have you? =20

3.   Chaindude:

      One of my favorite things is getting up on  Saturday mornings, =
making myself a big glass of fresh =20
      squeezed orange juice and listening to your program.  One of my =
other favorite things is cutting my wrists
      with razor blades.  I am not sure which is more distructive. =20
    =20
      DD



Ember Swift/Cheap Drunk/Permanent Marker
A young Canadian of boundless enthusiasm and musical ideas.  Musically, =
this one is all over the map, often in the course of a single song.  Not =
for the faint of heart or the Burl Ives set.

k.d. Lang/Pullin' Back The Reins/Absolute Torch And Twang
Ms. Lang at her finest...those arrangements

Jacinthe Trudeau/Berceuse/Echo
Needed a long track to facilitate show transition and my need to be out =
of the studio con mucho haste...Canadian fiddle music which has its =
moments.

Arnie Naiman+Chris Coole/Sleepyhead/5 Strings Attached, Volume 2
EVERYBODY should be playing from this disc...yes, banjos can make one =
feel good, even if one is city folk.  Can you say darn near the ultimate =
in good taste?  I knew that you could.

Zubot+Dawson/Ultraman/Tractor Parts:  Further Adventures In Strang
instrumental wizardry and playfulness.  PLAY THIS DISC REPEATEDLY AND =
LOUD (oops, got carried away with the loud part).  THIS GOES BEYOND =
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
=20
D.G. Biggs/Bad Days/Biggsongs
Hopefully scooping most everyone on this one...CANCON from a secret =
source...Haven't listened to the whole disc yet (yeh, so what's new?) =
but have found the feel to be very nice...contemporary somewhere between =
folk and pop radio (death zone 2000?) material, very nicely arranged and =
produced

Charlie Sohmer/Murder In The Air/The Kiss Before The Calm
taking care of one of our own...this is a warm and friendly disc

Oona+Corbin/Only This Moment/Only This Moment
something that suggests celtic, new age, classical and folk

Dave Woodhead/Bounce/Sweets And Conundrums
a listener asked if I was playing two tracks at once...guess some yanks =
just don't understand good Canadian music.  Still a fave instrumental =
disc

Jim Graham/The Sea/Mezcolanza
a brief, yet subtly elegant guitar piece

Jesse Winchester/Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt/Learn To Love It
"that's why I like Pierre Trudeau"

David Wiffin/Coast To Coast Fever/Coast To Coast Fever
a piece of vinyl from the past

Bruce Cockburn/All The Diamonds In The World/Circles In The Stream
more vinyl from when Bruce was fab...wait, that was someone else.

Paddy Tutty/The Dancers of Stanton Drew/The Roving Jewel
While they may never quite match the June Taylor Dancers, the music from =
this disc is far better...nice traditional music

Doug Cox/While My Guitar Gently Weeps/Bone Bottle Brass or Steel
Canadian reso player checks in with a pretty piece of Beatles

Scruj MacDuhk/The Road To Canso/The Road To Canso
most recent arrival...stuck with an instrumental because I figured that =
the FCC would not find anything objectionable


Aengus Finnan/Sweet Evelina/Fools Gold
several bright moments on this disc from a northern neighbor

Corbin Keep/Time In A Bottle/Solo Cello And Voice
Yes, it is THAT "Time In A Bottle."  Really dragging out the nags now.  =
Very cool version (solo cello and voice) from Oona McOuat's sometimes =
cellist.  Some inventive work on this disc.

Asza/Madly Riding The Heavenly Horse/Vancouver Music Sampler
Okay, I am a sucker for pipa.  Glorious blend of world sounds

Orchid Ensemble/Meeting In The Yurt/Heartland
Okay, I am a sucker for songs about yurts...More fine music from the =
East
